If I was reframing the basic Hsing Yi forms it would contain the following: An opening form which contains all five elements , each with internal movements required to produce power at ming jing level [this could be performed as a separate exercise if you are pushed for time or in a small space. Stepping, shifting, turning involving basic inch step, angling step, zig zag and other stepping associated with 5 elements in 8 directions.

Same form can be used in a 'health' mode with accent on breath, energy movement, soft and hard moves and intent

One move at a time? Or from senior students? Maybe he learned it from the internet, like the rest of us...
